Warming and aesthetically pleasing, the Valette enterprise’s solid wooden floor is made from a wood which had two steps of seasoning:
The first step consists of storing the wood during a year in order to eliminate the intercellular humidity stored in the wood structure.
he second step is to store the wood in a dryer during three weeks to complete the elimination of intracellular humidity.
These two steps give a final humidity rate from 8 to 10%. This enables the product stabilization in normal condition of humidity of a house (10-12%).
The dried planks can be planed, gauged, qualified in accordance with different choices.
«The enterprise orientations respect the environment, notably by the waste valorization. Shavings made during the gauging are taken to become fuel for the wood boiler which makes the heat in the dryer. » |
On the AB choice or first more rustic choice, a cellulose paste is put on knots to prevent it from splitting during the drying. This paste, after the gauging (planing), is only located in the knot’s heart in a very weak quantity, so it is visible. This operation enables a better stability of the wooden floor after the laying. |
